1. Since both of you arq adult , you can marry each other without the consent of parents of either party.

2.if the girl marries you on her consent then no kidnapping case can be filed .

3. on the contrary you can get police protection of her father threatens you with dire consequences.

4. So go visit a marriage registrar and register your marriage under Special Marriage Act.

You said that her mother is supporting this marriage and your mother also has no objection.

Thus with their support and your friends support, you can get married to the girl and inform the commissioner of police or the district superintendent of police about her father's threats to your marriage and his arrogant nature due to which he may go to any extent to terminate you both in the name of honor killing.

After marriage yo may also give a press media coverage about your affairs and your apprehensions of her father's threats and further actions on this.

Wat is the procedure for getting married. Can v do register marriage in one day?

Your marriage can be registered under special marriages act only.

The formalities for registration of the special marriages act is that you may have to wait for 30 days from the date of submitting the application for the proposed marriage but for the marriage already performed properly, you may get it registered on the same day.
